Apparently AC/DC's legendary livewire of lead singer Bon Scott used to joke: "when I'm a f**king bigshot, I'm calling my solo album Bonfire.
Coil voltage can be AC or DC and contact rating vary between 3 amps up to 10 amps.
Paddy McGuinness,
Newsagent

Paradoxically AC/DC's best album, Back in Black if you need it spelling out, was actually released during Johnson's era.
Dave Simons,
Internet Entrepeneur

AC VOLTAGE: The sum of the DC and Peak AC voltage applied to the capacitor should not exceed the rated DC voltage, nor should the RMS voltage exceed the Corona Start Voltage.
The inverter draws DC power from the battery or PV array and converts it to 120 volts AC which is distributed to the household AC loads through a standard load center with circuit breakers.
Current Transducer SIM Converts a DC or AC current into an independent DC Current or DC voltage output Signal.
Arthur Dawkins,
Astro-physicist

The disadvantage is that the diode will rectify some of the oscillator AC voltage and what you will most likely be measuring is the total DC voltage, not just the applied DC voltage.
These systems generally require only solar panels, an approved DC to AC inverter and normally a second power meter to measure the power generated independently from that used.
These units accept high voltage or high current AC inputs and provide a proportional DC signal output.
Dan Toomey,
Computer Salesman

We are now offering an International Wall Adapter that will allow ALL of our AC-DC units to be powered from ANY input voltage from 90 VAC to 240 VAC , 50 Hz or 60 Hz and will output a constant 12 Volts DC @ 1.
The charger handles input voltage ranging from 90 volts to 260 volts AC and output voltage ranging from 0 to 300 volts DC at one amp constant current.
Low Voltage units with AC and DC inputs have been designed and manufactured for powering transmitters utilized to control military jet drones, units to power energy management systems, and redundant units used to power oil field well logging equipment.
